With hate mail being sent to our neighbors and fellow Americans, ARC is starting a new campaign! We are sending love letters, to combat the hate letters. So grab a piece of paper, and write down a […]

We look for them to make purchases in good conscience, but it turns out that they frequently mislead us: companies that technically don’t test on animals have found sly ways to avoid the truth. By using third parties to test products and ingredients on animals, companies are legally absolved of culpability and able […]
